Enjoying Home Theater
The Home Theater means that you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own home — just like being in
a movie theater or concert hall.

position
Center speaker (SKC-770)
Position it close to your TV (preferably
on top) facing forward at about ear
level, or at the same height as the
front left and right speakers.
Front left and right speakers (SKF-770)
They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and
equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so as to
create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Surround left and right speakers (SKR-770)
Position them at the sides of the listener, or
slightly behind, about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm)
above ear level. Ideally they should be equally
spaced from the listener.
Subwoofer (SKW-770)
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency
Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your
subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening room,
and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained
by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way along
the front wall, as shown.

Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your
speakers:
• Turn off your receiver before making any
connections.
• Pay close attention to speaker
wiring polarity. Connect
positive (+) terminals to only
positive (+) terminals, and
negative (–) terminals to only
negative (–) terminals. If the speakers are
wired incorrectly, the sound will be out of
phase and will sound unnatural.
• Be careful not to short the positive and
negative wires. Doing so may damage
your amp.
Caution
• With other audio-video components, connect
the subwoofer’s LINE INPUT to the subwoofer
pre out jack of your equipment. Never plug any
kind of musical instrument to the subwoofer.

Attaching the Speaker Bases
Before you connect the speakers, attach the supplied
speaker base to each SKF-770.
1. Turn the speaker
upside down with the
protection cover
attached.
2. Align the speaker
base while the arrow
mark
is headed in
the same direction as
the speaker’s face. Be
careful not to tip over
the speaker.
3. Align the screw holes
on the speaker base
with those on the
bottom of each
speaker, and affix the speaker base using the
supplied screws. Recommended torque is 10 kgf·cm
(9 lbf·in). Be careful not to tip over the speaker.
4. Turn the speaker right side up.
5. Remove the protection cover.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
• Attach the speaker bases in a manner that will not
allow the speakers to tip over.
• Be sure to tighten the screws when you attach the
speaker bases.
• Attach the speaker bases on a flat, level, and stable
floor.
• After you attach the speaker bases, make sure that the
speakers stand upright and are stable.

Wall Mounting
To mount the center speaker horizontally, use the two keyhole slots
shown to hang each speaker on two screws that are securely screwed
into the wall.
Using the Cork Stoppers for a More Stable Platform
We recommend using the supplied cork stoppers to achieve the best
possible sound from your speakers. The cork stoppers prevent the
speakers from moving, providing a more stable platform. Use
stoppers for the center speaker.

Keyhole slots for wall mounting
7-7/8" (200 mm)
Caution:
A mounting screw’s ability to support a speaker
depends on how well it’s anchored to the wall. If
you have hollow walls, screw each mounting
screw into a stud. If there are no studs, or the
walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors. Use
screws with a head diameter of 5/16" (8 mm) or
less and a shank diameter of 5/32" (4 mm) or
less. With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe
detector to check for any power cables or water
pipes before making any holes. Leave a gap of
between 7/32" (5 mm) and 3/8" (10 mm) between the wall and the
base of the screw head, as shown. (We recommend that you
consult a home installation professional.)

Setting the Subwoofer Level
To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control.
Set it so that bass sounds are evenly balanced with the treble sounds
from the other speakers. Because our ears are less sensitive to very
low bass sounds, there’s a temptation to set the level of the
subwoofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer level to
what you think is the optimal level, and then back it off slightly.
Using the Floor Pads for Subwoofer
If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor (wood,
vinyl, tile, etc.) and playback is very loud, the
subwoofer’s feet may damage the flooring. To
prevent this, place the supplied pads underneath
the subwoofer’s feet. The pads also provide a
stable base for the subwoofer.

Note:
The Auto Standby function turns the subwoofer on when the input signal
exceeds a certain level. If the Auto Standby function does not work reliably, try
slightly increasing or decreasing the subwoofer output level on your receiver.

With the Auto Standby function, the SKW-770 automatically turns on
when an input signal is detected in Standby mode. When there’s no input
